       NAME
             uucollapse - remove loops in uucp mail address

       SYNOPSIS
             uucollapse address . . .

       DESCRIPTION
             /usr/lib/mail/surrcmd/uucollapse takes a mail address
             expressed in ``bang'' format, such as sysa!sysb!user, and
             removes any cycles and loops found within the address.  For
             example,
                   sysa!sysb!sysa!user
             can be collapsed down to
                   sysa!user
             because sysb can only talk with one sysa.  Similarly,
                   sysa!sysa!user
             is collapsed down to
                   sysa!user

             This program is intended to be used from the
             /etc/mail/mailsurr file.  Note: it is assumed that the address
             passed in contains only exclamation points and no other type
             of networking characters, such as ``@'' or ``%''.
